Political Roundtable: Steve K. vs. Tucson Tea Party & So Much More!

A feisty edition of Arizona Illustrated's Political Roundtable as Tucson City Councilman Steve Kozachik and Tucson Tea Party founder Trent Humphries spar over the direction of the Republican Party while Pima County Democratic Party chairman Jeff Rogers tries to stay out of their way. Plus, the panel talks about the likely U.S. Senate race between Republican Congressman Jeff Flake and Democrat Richard Carmona, unpacks the latest polls in the local congressional races, tries to decipher what's going on the Pima County Board of Supes GOP primaries, weighs the impact of anonymous contributions to political campaigns, examines the city's annexation policies, wonders about the future of downtown's modern streetcar and digests the Chik-Fil-A controversy.
